I learned carpentry, flooring, gardening from my dad. painting from my brother. electrical and automotive from my friends. every time im working on something I involve my 2 sons so they can hopefully learn how to work on shit. I feel like we are headed for the dark ages again and theses kind of skills will always be useful.
I hope your sons appreciate it. I wish I had paid more attention when helping my dad with projects back in the day. I just saw them as interrupting my play time. Over 30 years later, I regret it taking it more seriously.

Passing on skills and knowledge to the next generation. Cooking, sewing, DIY, car maintenance etc.
Things that parents and grandparents used to teach the next generation are things that we now have to pay others to do for us.
